Pick: Tennessee -14.5 (-110)
Tuesday night takes us to Rocky Top, where the Tennessee Volunteers will take on the South Carolina Gamecocks here in this one. This is a huge conference matchup that could go either way, and both of these teams are in the middle of incredible seasons throughout the month of January. Both of them will be looking to wrap up the first month of full-time conference with a quality performance and a victory here on Tuesday night in Knoxville as they look to strengthen their NCAA tournament résumé heading into the final month of the regular season. This should be one of the best games of the evening in an absolutely loaded slate of college basketball.
South Carolina has been incredible throughout the early part of the season and they will look for a huge résumé boosting victory with a solid performance here on Tuesday night in Knoxville. They come into this game with 17 victories through their first 20 games of the regular season and they will look for their 18th victory of the year here in this huge top 25 matchup. This would be their biggest victory of the season and would put them in a position to grab a more favorable seed in the SEC conference tournament and potentially the NCAA tournament as well.
However, it will certainly be no easy task on the road against Tennessee as they will need to find a way to stop the highflying Tennessee Volunteers offense here in this game, if they want to come away with a victory away from home. South Carolina comes into this game as winners of three consecutive conference matchups, and they will look to make it five out of their last six and their fourth consecutive victory in a row with another solid performance here on Tuesday night against Tennessee. They have also won their previous two conference games on the road as well and they will look for a third consecutive victory away from home here on Tuesday night in Knoxville.

Dalton Knecht has been one of the best players in the country this season, and he will likely be a finalist for national player of the year if he continues to produce how he has down the final stretch of the regular season. He has been leading this Tennessee team to victory after victory, and he will look to them to get another quality performance here on Tuesday night at home against South Carolina. Tennessee comes into this game with 15 victories through their first 19 games of the regular season and they will look to pick up their 16th win of the year here in Knoxville against the Gamecocks.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:

In the end, I do look for Tennessee to pull away with this one at home and pick up a comfortable victory as well as cover the spread in the process here on Tuesday night in Knoxville in this SEC conference matchup.
